Sunday, July 17. George Hughses birthday, 58. Rainy looking. A. A. and I to church. Dr. Anderson preached. Did Jesse's work and swept off her front porch and chatted a little with Dad MacAfee before church time. Read in Jesse's "ships that pass in the night". Ed and Anna came about 4:30 and took A.A. and me to Pavonia. My piano is in awful shape and Leo's will buy it. Got home at 7:20 and went to the Christian church to Rev. Binghearts ordination. When we got home found the telegram [telling of her mother's death] from Anna G in the door, Ethel had gotten it and could not get me over the phone so she and Mary brought it. I am to go stay at Lisbon if convenient, and I s'pose it will be. Vince Hughes at McElhaney's. Jess home at about 5 P.M.
Monday, July 18 - Worked on Win's dress to have it done before I go to Lisbon. She came to dinner to eat up the scraps. Packed my suitcase for a couple weeks day at Lisbon.
Tuesday the 19th Ed, Anna, Fred, Lizzie and I started to Lisbon at 7. Nice drive. Rained a little, but only a sprinkle. Got there at 10:45 AM. Dinner at 12. Frank and Meda got here, about 1. Funeral at 2 a good sermon by Rev. Harvoli, Reformed minister, singing by Mrs. Marquis and Mrs. Cable. Everything was very nice. Very tired after I came home – Mansfielders went straight from the cemetery home. Neighbors all very kind. Ruby Peters and Jetta McDevit, Perl Stuckman stayed until supper was over. Mrs. DeRemer over often.
